From a brick-tea factory to a broader dark-tea brand
The company’s official history traces its predecessor to the Hunan Brick Tea Factory organized by Peng Xianze in 1939. It connects three milestones with Baishaxi: black brick tea in 1939, Hunan Fu brick tea in 1953 and Hua brick tea in 1958. These are milestones in the factory’s production history, rather than a statement that all Chinese dark tea originated there.
Over time, the company also carried forward Tianjian, Gongjian and Shengjian teas and the Huajuan tradition commonly associated with Qianliang tea. That combination of brick, loose-leaf and column-derived formats explains the range found in its catalog today.
Main business: tea production, development and distribution
Baishaxi makes and sells dark tea while developing new products around its established tea families. The official site describes tea-garden resources and modern production facilities, alongside a product center, a marketing network, franchise information and an authenticity-checking entry.
Its catalog is organized into award-winning teas, new development, series products, historical products, teaware and customized products. These sections help visitors distinguish the company’s core tea business from supplementary offerings and special releases.
Main products and their characteristics
| Tea family | What distinguishes it | Catalog reference |
|---|---|---|
| Hei Zhuan — black brick tea | A compact brick format within the company’s Anhua dark-tea range. | Black brick tea in ready-to-brew portions and Northwest black brick tea. |
| Fu Zhuan — Fu brick tea | A separate brick-tea family, offered in everyday packs as well as gift presentations. | 300 g Fu brick and 1953 special Fu tea. |
| Hua Zhuan — Hua brick tea | Another traditional brick-tea series named in the company overview. | Compare the exact grade, size and production information of each pack. |
| Xiangjian teas | The Tianjian, Gongjian and Shengjian line, distinct from the brick families. | Tianjian product example. |
| Qianliang and related Huajuan teas | A traditional compressed-tea family; the catalog also offers smaller formats. | Qianliang tea cake and Bailiang tea. |
New releases and tea gifts
The product center currently displays the Master’s Estate series, including Meishan Chayin, Xuefeng Mosong and Bingwu Fu Tea, alongside Jinma Songfu and other gift-oriented releases. These names identify particular catalog products; the specification on the individual pack remains the useful guide to what you are buying.
Understanding the range before choosing a tea
For English-speaking buyers, dark tea is the useful term for Chinese heicha. It should be distinguished from English “black tea,” which usually means Chinese hongcha. Baishaxi’s emphasis is Anhua dark tea.
Start by choosing a tea family, then compare the product’s weight, grade, production date, packaging and preparation instructions. A small brick or cake may be easier to portion for daily use than a large traditional format. Storage and brewing affect the cup, so a brand name or an old date alone cannot determine taste.
